The Valley Of Zermatt And The Matterhorn A Guide With Illustrations Maps

Excerpt from The Valley of Zermatt and the Matterhorn: A Guide The following remarks may be of some service to those who visit the Zermatt district for the first time. Expenses - More will be got for money by settling down at a few places than by constantly moving from one place to another. Pensionnaires are taken at nearly all the hotels mentioned in this volume. Low rates are quoted at the beginning and at the end of the season. Money. - Take some Napoleons (20-franc pieces), a small quantity of French silver for wayside expenses, and the rest in sovereigns and 5 Bank of England notes. The notes can be changed at Geneva, Lausanne, or Zermatt. Sovereigns go everywhere, except at the very smallest places. English silver is not understood, and will not pass. Beware of small Italian silver coins, which are supposed to be with drawn from circulation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
